We use Presenter 13 to publish our presentations. On the last slide, we have a link to the new presentation. When user clicks the link, the presentation starts on the full screen mode. F11 only displays the address bar on Chrome and IE. The menu and favorites are disabled on IE11 and I need to choice "Show as tab" option on the right click menu for the Chrome. How can I display the presentation on the browser with all menu options are available?
It sounds like your browser is opening the presentation in a new window vs. in a new tab. Is that correct? It's up to the browser to choose how to handle opening hyperlinks. Some browsers will open the content in a new tab, while others will open it in a completely new window.
Does that sound like what you're experiencing? If I'm off base here, can you share a link to your presentation with me so I can get a better idea of what's happening?
Hi Alyssa, thanks for your response. Yes the browser opens the presentation in a new browser window (without any menu options at the top) if the user opens the presentation by clicking the link on the last slide of the presentation. We have training presentations consist of different steps. The user clicks the link on the last slide of the presentation to move on to the next presentation, then the browser opens the presentation on a new browser window without any menu options at the top.
You may test it on following link. You need to click the link on the slide 14 labeled as "Step 3: Analyze the Application Item". The link appears after the narration ends.
Thanks for sharing the link with me, Elif! I do see what you've described. When the learner clicks the hyperlink, the new window that appears does not have browser controls.
This prevents users from navigating away from that page, and their only option is to close the browser window and return to the original slide. This lessens any confusion about where they were in the original course, and this is the behavior we'd expect to happen.
Let me know if you have any other questions about that!

As for your bookmarking, are you wanting the users to add these hyperlinks as a bookmark? Or, are you referring to bookmarking where they are in the course?
The latter is controlled through the resume behavior, and it should bring the user back to the slide they left off on. Take a look at the directions here on this.

We want them to bookmark the presentation, so they can continue with the training instead of starting from the first step.
How we can bookmark the presentations without seeing the browser's controllers?
thanks

Hi Elif,
Learners will need to manually copy/paste the URL into a browser bookmark, since the browser controls won't appear in the new window.
